Veeze has joked that 2022 was his “rap internship” as he prepped his debut LP, Ganger, and spent time around rap stars like Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and Babyface Ray, observing them and learning rap-star decorum. Now, with the album out to much acclaim, the 28-year-old Detroit native is on the verge of stardom, and he’s the one whose example younger artists will be following.
Singles like “Gomd” and “Not a Drill” were ubiquitous among rap heads in 2023, with so many artists still doing freestyles to the latter that he...

Seventeen-year-old Luh Tyler is the reluctant but increasingly confident vanguard of new-school pimp rap. As he explains on My Vision, his Motion Music and Atlantic Records debut, “I wasn’t tryna rap for real, I did that shit on accidental.” For all his natural ability, his lustrous melodies, well-placed bon mots, his feline grace, he started rhyming only last summer. And he certainly wasn’t gunning for the title of hip-hop’s boy wonder. Back then, Tyler was just some Tallahassee kid with curly brown locks who couldn’t be...

In May, Detroit rapper Veeze told Rolling Stone that he took things back to the drawing board after his Instagram page was removed last year. His fans were anticipating a follow-up to 2019’s Navy Wavy but felt like he had hit a period of complacency with rap. Having to run his Instagram following back up to its current 300,000 followers made him reflect on how he could improve his career — including refining his craft. He says time spent around established stars like Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and Babyface Ray allowed him...

For the past decade, Babyface Ray and Lil Durk have steadily crafted two of the best bodies of work in rap. Both went from cult heroes to a stature where one can’t talk about street rap without mentioning them early in the conversation. Yet, the two midwest artists have never collaborated — until recently, on “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy,” a track from Babyface Ray’s recently released and well-regarded album, Mob.
Tailored for today’s taste, the track is just two minutes but packs the punch of songs twice as long,...

Two years ago, Mobile, Alabama rapper Flo Milli dazzled listeners with her bubbly cadence and dexterous flows on her debut mixtape, Ho, Why Is You Here? Her debut album, You Still Here, Ho?, brings more of the same. There are a few important upgrades: the rapper lands cameos from the likes of Rico Nasty and Babyface Ray. Hilariously, the biggest guest appearance may be Tiffany “New York” Pollard, a breakout star from VH1’s late Aughts “celebreality” slate. She introduces Flo Milli with typical insouciance: “Just look at the material.

A favorite within Michigan’s increasingly dominant rap scene, Babyface Ray made his career with the kind of deadpan raps that are as icy as winter in the Midwest. Like a Blaxploitation character in rap form, the menacing bars he spits arrive with an almost impossible equanimity. “I done seen it all. That’s why I am so cool,” the 31-year-old rapper says over Zoom in Los Angeles. “Nothing really fazes me.”
Ray’s new album Face, out today, opens with an audacious beat switch that illustrates the rapper’s confident nonchalance.
